Monticello web design FAQ
Monticello is small. Do I really need a website?
Your market is bigger than the town: Lawrence County has 862 nonemployer businesses and 182 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Monticello find you.
Will people in Silver Creek and New Hebron see that I work there too?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Silver Creek, New Hebron, Brookhaven or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
Can I change the website when the season changes?
Yes. A short email with the new text is enough, and the change is included in the plan.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
